huh??...the opening in 1972 was to expose the cracks in the Soviet/China relationship, and got China to lean on N Vietnam, which was “winning” the war and was in no mood to negotiate anything. The economic opening of the Chinese markets you can hang on Bill Clinton and the Republicans, which occoured 25 years later...do you people just post anything that comes into your heads???...geez
Get real...it was Nixon and Henry.......BJ gave them MOST FAVORED NATION....and they STILL have!
